I snapped a bunch of photos with the intention of highlighting and trying to move this Rivendell Protovelo cx bike. Luckily for the current owner, he snatched it up before I could make it public. If you know me you know that I have a particularly soft spot in my heart for proper cx frames/bikes. Since first riding this I was hoping whoever came home with it would give it a good thrashing like it was built for. No matter how pretty a new frame looks, it always looks better with a splatter of mud or dust patina. A week or two back the right stud came through the doors and made this his own. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with it and excited to see the Riv’ bang some barriers. Hup hup!

It’s that time and we have something to contribute. This particular bike appears to be a very early ’86 Corsa Extra in the famed Panasonic livery. The seat tube is 60cm c-c with a 58cm top tube. Come touch it in person (we are closed Mondays in honor of Eddy).

Our friends at Velo Coffee have created a Kickstarter campaign so they can take their operation to the next level. Help support some local folks who elevate our bicycle and coffee experience here in Tennessee. Keep up the good work y’all! Click here to read more and support.

You’re probably already familiar with the name and heritage of Waterford. If not, brew that coffee and get to reading! There’s not much to say about this bike that the photos don’t say for themselves. It’s impeccably clean and built the way a truly nice bike should be. Whoever put this thing together has good bike vibes. I’m ready for the hatred to spill upon me but the DA 7800 groupo is the best. Sure, you can make a case for a select few other groups but 7800 is tight.

This Wisconsin bike is awesome. Bring in a sixer of Moon Man and we just might make you a deal…
